March 13, 2021 Share China’s national legislature has approved a resolution to overhaul Hong Kong’s current electoral system, in a move seen as part of a broader campaign to quell opposition voices. Top Beijing officials have insisted electoral reforms are needed to ensure that only “patriots” govern the former British colony, improving national security and establishing a “democratic electoral system with Hong Kong characteristics.” The latest move further tightens China’s control over Hong Kong, reducing democratic representation and creating a pro-Beijing panel to screen candidates for “patriotic” fitness for public office. Thursday’s nearly unanimous vote to pass the reforms, greenlighting the biggest political shake-up in Hong Kong since the city’s 1997 return to China from British control, was largely expected from the National People’s Congress (NPC), the Communist Party of China’s (CPC’s) rubber-stamp legislative body.
